Web Search

This skill uses duckduckgo-cli — a command-line search tool that returns DuckDuckGo results as plain text or JSON. It's built for LLM agents: plain text output is compact (title, URL, snippet per result) and the flags let you control time, region, site, and count.

When to reach for this

• The user asks about something recent ("latest", "today", "current", a year at or past your knowledge cutoff)
• A claim needs verification
• Documentation, references, or external context is needed
• The user asks to search, look up, find out, research, or check something
• You're answering a factual question and you're not sure your knowledge is current

Once you're already in a conversation, you don't need explicit permission — just search.

Command

The CLI is invoked as ddg (a short alias for duckduckgo-cli).
